Get UCAS to change their application to be inclusive of the LGBT+ and trans community

The Issue

In the online process for UCAS undergraduate application, there is currently only the option to tell them your gender is male/female, and in the sexuality section, the only options are gay, straight or bisexual.

This is unacceptable and harmful to the community. On contacting UCAS we were told that there is nothing they can do as changing the application is "too difficult". This is wholly unacceptable and need to change as soon as possible.

While there is an option to tell them you identify as transgender, there is no option for non-binary or gender-fluid people, or even simply an "other" tick box.

UCAS needs to change this, and with your signature you can help.
